Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

#999 - Chapter 999: The Corpse of Taoist Nanxian

Seeing the wariness on Chen Tian's face lessen slightly, the red-haired man immediately revealed a hint of joy and hurriedly said, "Actually, at the beginning, I did have the idea of fulfilling my promise and killing you to avenge Old Man Nanxian. However, after that probing just now, I know that continuing to fight will not be good for either of us. So, I changed my mind and no longer intend to be enemies with you."

"Hmm?" Hearing these words, Chen Tian was momentarily stunned. After staring at him suspiciously for a while, he frowned and said, "You made this decision. Aren't you afraid of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao's karma?"

Chen Tian knew that once a Nascent Soul cultivator made a promise, it would be blessed with a trace of the Heavenly Dao's karma. If the promise was fulfilled, then this trace of karma would naturally dissipate. However, if one went back on their word, they would definitely suffer a backlash, which would give rise to inner demons and hinder future cultivation.

This was also why the favors of Nascent Soul cultivators were so precious.

Because once a favor was owed, it was like being put in heavy shackles. Unless the request of the person owed was fulfilled, they would never be able to remove it for the rest of their lives.

It seemed that this person really did not want to be his enemy and intended to turn hostility into friendship.

And in this case, it was exactly what Chen Tian wanted.

In fact, Chen Tian also did not want to have any conflict with this person. If it could be resolved peacefully, then it would naturally be a happy ending for everyone.

After all, there was no hatred between them, only bound by Daoist Nanxian's favor.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian nodded slightly and looked at him, saying, "Alright, tell me, what exactly do you want from me?"

Seeing that Chen Tian had finally let down all his guard, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile could not help but appear on his face as he said calmly, "Daoist Nanxian's corpse should still be with you, right? Can you give me this thing?"

"What? You want Daoist Nanxian's corpse?"

Hearing this condition, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed sharply, and he asked in confusion, "Can you tell me the reason? Why do you want Daoist Nanxian's corpse?"

In fact, Chen Tian had already prepared himself. No matter what conditions this person made, as long as it was within his tolerance range, Chen Tian would not hesitate.

It was just that the person's request ultimately surprised Chen Tian. He did not expect that this person would ask him for Daoist Nanxian's corpse!

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic. You should know that once you violate your promise, you will inevitably be backlashed by the power of the Heavenly Dao's karma, and the consequences will be extremely serious, right?"

"That's natural." Chen Tian nodded and said, "But what does this have to do with Daoist Nanxian's corpse?"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist may not know much about this, but although this backlash seems extremely harmful, I accidentally found a way to eliminate this karma. It's just that this method requires the use of Daoist Nanxian's corpse, so I asked you for it," the red-haired man said calmly.

However, Chen Tian was surprised again after hearing his explanation.

There was actually a way to eliminate 'karma' in this world? It was the first time Chen Tian had heard of it.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian could not help but raise his head and look at this person, inspecting him for a long time. Chen Tian did not find anything wrong, and this person's expression was sincere from beginning to end, which gradually dispelled the doubts in Chen Tian's mind.

In fact, after obliterating Daoist Nanxian's primordial spirit and plundering his treasures, the corpse still trapped in the Purple Gold Bowl was actually useless to Chen Tian.

And if it could really help this red-haired man eliminate the karma brought about by violating his promise, Chen Tian would not be unable to help him.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian flipped his hand, and the Purple Gold Bowl immediately appeared in his palm. After silently reciting a magic incantation, a red glow spilled out from within. At the same time, Daoist Nanxian's corpse, wrapped in this glow, slowly flew out.

Only to see that Daoist Nanxian's corpse was still well preserved, except that his face was contorted, and his eyes were bulging, as if he had suffered endless pain before his death.

Chen Tian sneered at the corpse, then waved his hand and sent it to the red-haired man.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist."

Seeing this, the red-haired man thanked Chen Tian, and without being polite, grabbed Daoist Nanxian's corpse and put it into his wide sleeves.

"I've already given you the corpse. Can I leave now?" Chen Tian asked, his eyes flashing, after seeing the man put away Daoist Nanxian's corpse.

"Oh, naturally. Please, Fellow Daoist," the red-haired man immediately smiled upon hearing Chen Tian's words, then turned his body to the left, giving Chen Tian a passage.

Seeing this, Chen Tian did not say anything more. He cupped his fist at him, and with a flash of his figure, quickly left the place.

Originally, Chen Tian wanted to return to the altar to take out the jade tablet, but at this time, he had to give up this idea.

After all, the red-haired man's cultivation base was similar to Daoist Nanxian's, or even higher. Facing this person, Chen Tian must not be negligent in the slightest, and only wanted to escape from him as soon as possible.

Only to see Chen Tian's figure turn into a golden stream of light, continuing to move forward in this dark void.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Chen Tian suddenly stopped. Then, he waved his sleeve, and the Sky-Shielding Feather instantly flew out, covering his body, immediately concealing his figure.

At this point, Chen Tian seemed to have disappeared strangely in this void. No one knew where he was.

And not long after Chen Tian disappeared, about ten thousand miles behind him, the red-haired man suddenly walked out from behind a boulder.

He glanced at the place where Chen Tian disappeared, and a sharp glint could not help but flash in his eyes!
